Watching the goalposts pass by
United States: A Florida school has voted to change its rules on clubs to prevent a 12-year-old pupil starting a Pagan club.
The girl had asked about forming a club based on her pagan beliefs because the school had Christian clubs, her mother said. Bruner officials, however, told her she would have to gather 200 signatures to form such a club.
The existence of the Christian clubs means the school couldn't suddenly get concerned about the separation of church and state, so instead, they insisted on a minumum membership - want to bet that if one of the Christian clubs falls below that, the rule won't be enforced?
